Really tired of talk show hosts (and I don't think Mr. Morgan's show is really much about what i'd call news) interviewing other talk show hosts. Ricki Lake followed by Jerry Springer. It just looks too much like the "self-licking" ice cream cone to me. However, I think that, for a variety of reason, Mr. Morgan struggles to get more weighty folks to sit through his (often smug) interviews. In general, I just wish CNN would move away from entertainment and more toward analysis of issues.

I think that carbon cabon crpaute and storage might work for a while, but our future generations will probably be the ones that experiance the downfall of it. Before we do this we need to research and make sure carbon crpaute and storage isn't going to effect us in the long run.

My apologies in anavdce for the length of this reply. LOL!@Dr. John,Great post. In the past, I have often referred to the fact that this President reminded me of the brain washed characters in the original Manchurian Candidate move.I have tried to point out more than once the fact that we are headed for a hard left Socialist dictatorship. This president has not only misled the nation as to his intentions, but has surrounded himself with people who openly hate and despise our American way of life and ideals. They openly profess their admiration for the hard core Marxist way of life. I want it made extremely clear I am, to say the least disgusted with both our Comrade in Chief and the hard left bias of the Democrats and so called “Progressive Republicans” And yes, I openly refer to the President as a hard Core Commie Socialist and Racist. I say it and I believe it to the bottom of my heart. I and others have been taken to task for not only the above, but for also backing up our statements with facts, in most cases using their own words to show one what we are trying to refer to.In my view, our president does in fact endorse and back Socialists, Communists and every other fringe leftist group bent on destroying our country and her ideals! What you see on display is the Democratic Party at its worse (I guess I should say at its best if you listen to the cry baby propaganda machine). Pat Caddell , whom I’ve referred to in more than once in the past among others has been pointing out for some time now that the Democratic party they knew had been hijacked! Wrong! The Democratic party for all intents and purposes is now dead! In its place now stands the National Democratic Socialist Party! I cannot even remotely express my contempt for people who are so blind to the threat facing our country.Our country is being destroyed from within! When Kruschev banged his shoe on the table all those years ago, he stated that exact intent. And it’s happening as we speak. Do we as a nation have the love of country to fight this? Or is the President correct and we instead settle for being like the rest of the third world failed countries? Class warfare, Racial Hate and Socialist practices all being espoused by the President and his hard left advisers and Congress. Are we to late to stop this? The world is looking for our leadership. We are not followers!The lies keep coming and our future generations will suffer. As if that isn’t bad enough, we have the fact that this country is now following the Socialist model that this treasonous President and Congress have chosen for it. The debt owed by our children and grandchildren is staggering! The income redistribution espoused by this President and his Marxist cronies is not only destroying our country as we know it, it is taking away any hope for our children's and grandchildren’s future. I for one do not want my children to live under the Marxist dictatorship that is headed our way. I do not say this lightly! History is supposed to teach us yet this country led by this Socialist President and Congress is in the process of yanking our children’s future out from under them. Our education system is in shambles as is evidenced by a study that came out just the other day that 23% or something like that (forgot the exact figure, but it was high) of people enlisting in the armed services cannot pass the simple basic knowledge testing! This is what we’ve done for our children. Basically we have a government that wants the people to be nothing more than servile. Hell, our Leftist leaders do their damndest to make sure the basic ideals this country was founded on are not taught anymore! they revise history as every Marxist regime has done in the past and force feed it to our kids!Our children do not deserve this! For the first time in my life, I do not see us being able to leave our children a better country! I look at my grandchildren and wonder. What could I have done better? What can we as a people do to save our country for our children? This might be the most important question of them all. Our children are indeed our future. If we choose to keep going down the path we are now pursuing, I fear their future will be one of Marxist enslavement. I fear for our children as we all should! We need to take our country back now, for their sake if not for ours.Reply

Mr. Morgan, do you realize you just accused the President of breaking the law. If a super pac coordinated with the President to put out the ad you referenced about Romney supposedly killed his wife (which I never heard until you repeated it) that would be against the law. Are you biased? I know you mentioned Romney's flip flopping, but you seemed to be really disgusted that the President would put out the ad that you mentioned. I know you are more knowledgeable to believe that the President supported that ad. Also, one other point. You think it is balanced to have two republicans (the woman is a conservative) to give 'both' sides of the story?

It's obvious Piers knows nothing about the current Political climate in America...nor does he do his research and answers with talking points from the right wing ideology he ascribes...don't forget he worked for the most criminal news media mogal in the history of the world...Murdoc. Jerry Srpinger, of all people is the only one with the facts of this Nation's delima with the cndidacy of Romney and Ryan...the most dangerous team who could ever inhabit the White House...this would be the most repressive form of government this Country could ever experience....the worst!

Piers, you don't get it. Obama is not dealing with the Congress Clinton dealt with. The Republicans decided as soon as Obama was elected to keep him from passing anything. Read Shakedown, an investigative book about the negotiations which took place between Boehner and Obama re: the budget. Boehner wanted to pass legislation agreed to behind closed doors with Obama but the Tea Party wouldn't let him. Boehner denied deals publicly but negotiated them privately and then couldn't deliver. Obama tried to absorb the accusations of "weak leader" by not attacking the Republicans so that he could still try to do deals down the road. He has the big overall picture and has done a really good job in the face of tremendous obstacles. People have totally forgotten where he started, with George Bush saying it was an imminent disaster. The unemployment didn't get worse, as a result of what Bush had done, until well into Obama's term. The problem is, people are unrealistic. They thought he was the messiah. Get real! No one could have done any better.

Obama had a super majority from 2008 to 2010 and passed everything he wanted and now we're seeing the results of his programs. Go see Obama 2016 and you'll get a better picture of what his real core values are and his vision for this country. Obama if he has his way will collapse our system and weaken our position in the world and if that happens the freedoms we enjoy today in America will become a distant memory.

mr. Obama thought HE was the Messiah as well. He simply was not qualified to hold such a high office, plan and simple. His inexperience is showing big time now and the whole world is watching. Look at it this way. If Obama and J. McCain had been going to a job interview( in the last election) and we looked at each man's resume, Obama probably wouldn't have not been called in for a second interview because he was sooo inexperienced! Then, we let them bring in all their inexperienced "friends" to try and run this country. One thing I do agree with and thats no one person can run this country. We need at least three; one to oversee the military, one to handle domestic affairs and one to handle foreign affairs.The only thing we should be regulating is the way we elect everyone! We have congressmen who have been serving for 30 yrs! Its time to change our election rules including a ban on all commercials that don't state the issues and the solutions. No more back biting! Its just about unbearable to watch any more. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

Kris you are sadly mistaken, when this is all over and becomes history, President Obama will be considered one of the greatest Presidents of all time "This is only up to January. Is this enough of a record for you? President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden and over 22 high-ranking Al Qaeda operatives. He passed major health care legislation, ended the war in Iraq and brought our troops home, appointed 2 women to the Supreme Court, passed the Lily Ledbetter law- equal work-equal pay act. He closed the doughnut in Medicare prescription drugs, fully funded the Veterans Administration, eliminated the capital gains taxes for small business, enacted Credit Card Reform, expanded loan programs for small businesses, implemented a Stimulus aka recovery and reinvestment act (totally separate from bank bailouts), saved GM, enacted Hate Crime Prevention Act, Student Loan Reform, Reversed restrictions on stem cell research; Repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, Extended unemployment insurance benefits and temporarily suspended taxes on these benefits, expanded Pell grants for low income students, increased veterans funding, and ended another war in Afghanistan. Those are just some of his promises kept! President Obama has a very long list of promises kept in just 3 years. And now Heathcare! All this done with both hands tied behind his back by an obstructionist congress! Vote4 Obama. 2012!"

What!? And I guess you want the world to belive Bush was some sort of an intellectual leader Huh? This country's dilema has been coming down the pipe for a very long time. Don't hate the player (Obama), hate the game and start w/ slavery.

I just listened to the Springer interview. The problem with people like Jerry is they tend to see themselves as experts outside there area of expertise (sensationalism). He comes on and presents the case that the umemployment rate of college graduates is 4% meaning that they are finding work in Obama's thriving economy in their chosen fields when it is actually 53% for those under 25 and the 4% represents the older graduates. So in his world all we need to do is spend more money we don't have and things will get better. That says it all.

Love your experts... Springer and Baldwin. Again, tabloid figures trying to direct opinio. Obama loves his celebs and I am embarrased for him.
If this is who is representing the Democratic Party then I am changing my vote from Independent to Republican!

Morgan announces he has "Gutless Little Twerp" on his show tonight. The IRONY is every time I switch on his show he comes across like a Gutless Little twerp. Like we Really need a Brit telling us WHO the heck we should vote for. What a loser this guy is. To bad his blog people are too gutless to print this comment , as Morgan the Gutless Little twerp will probably have a big Hissy Fit reading it....;}

If Piers is going to allow someone like Jerry Springer to use CNN airways to pay homage to Obama Piers should at least try to see that facts are being stated correctly. Springer said that Obama was able to get Health Care passed despite the opposition of Congress as well as he said Obama couldn't get enough $ in Stimulus because of Congress... Heh Piers why didn't you remind Springer that Congress was completely in democratic control in 2008 and 2009 and Obama got whatever he asked for!!!

Jerry Springer and Piers Morgan – what a team; one deals in exploitation of people and their troubles or non-troubles, espeially exploitation of women !!!! and makes big bugs and the other one is imposing his foreign liberal view (sometimes very nasty) on us.

To both of you gentlemen: you were both misinformed and wrong in your assumption and opinion: During the first two years of the Obama Administration the Congress had a Democratic majority and the Healthcare law was passed at that time. It was only in 1210 that the Republicans won the majority in the mid-term election. So you see Mr. Springer you were completely INCORRECT stating that the Congress did not want to work with Pres. Obama at the beginning of his term and that's why he could not be completely successful. Unless, of course, his own party did not agree with the President....... You Mr. Morgan did not pick up on this either, maybe you were afraid to hurt Pres.Obama by setting the record straight. LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS AT ITS BEST!!!!!

And when the Democrats held the Congress everything was moving forward, the economy was even on its way to recovery, that's what the statistics reported, until the Republicans and their racists antics landed the congress.
Find out the facts before stating nonsense.

Have never watched this show before today. Only Tivo'd cuz I thought he was going to profile "Pawn Stars". What happened? Pawn Stars is the only "reality" show I have ever likes, mostly for the history lessons and experts they use. I also like the way rick gets so excited about historical items.

Almost 51% of recent graduates are unemployed or underemployed. I think somebody mentioned in your show 4-5%? Are you kidding me? I don't disagree with the logistics of what Jerry was talking about but may be he got his numbers mixed up. This country can only and only survive with more education in Science, Engineering and Healthcare.

On the Prince Harry fiasco you say – he is the 3rd in line to the throne, has great perks, but has done his time in the Army and the real issue is the person who took the photos. That is what happens when you invite people u just met play strip pool. If a man left millions on the street unattended he would not be fit to be a middle level bank employee. Get my point? Stop blaming everyone except the one to blame. No intellect or judgement by Harry. He wouldn't be elected to anything but that is the whole problem in the UK.

Jerry called out the GOP plan to strip Obama of a second term and you Piers call it a rant... you want Obama to make deals further alienate himself from his platform and his party's base but look at the trouble the GOP cause for legislative gibberish like tax extensions and to extend the debt ceiling...the debt and foreclosures are not Obama's fault they are the lenders and the speculative real estate markets fault. Obama is better than any leadership the stripmine reform artist GOP can produce...see Paul Ryan.

I am answering Piers' comment about why President Obama and the Republicans can't work it out like Clinton. The number one answer to that is the obvious, it is because President Obama is black. The history behind racism goes much deeper than politics. I was asked recently this question, “Do I feel that since I was bused to a predominantly white school that, that had same poignant reason for my success?” I thought about it, and then I had to also ask myself this question, "What if I had gone to an all black school?” I feel I would have had, I would had more success at that time in history. Because I didn’t, I had to deal with racist teachers and biased social studies by white teachers. Because I loved to learn, I was treated horribly by most of those white teachers. Although some of them supported me, I can only imagine how much lesser a role politics would have played in my education if I had gone to a black school. President Obama is going through what most black students went through during the early bussing period; the right wing duplicitous smile in your face while doing everything in their power to make sure that you get an “F”.

There is some truth to that I'm sure. No other President has had his birth certificate questioned, been called a liar during a State of the Union address, had the leader of the Congress make it his party's goal to give him only 4 years by blocking every thing he proposes even if the country is damaged in the process and been treated with so much disrespect. In addition to his race, he is an atypical black man – highly educated and intelligent instead of a basket ball player.

ant you are soooo right!!! it sicken me how these republican bigiots are putting millions and millions of dollars in romney campaign so that he can tell lies about the president. someone please tell me how anyone can believe anything romney says and he goes and put a man on his tikcket who proves what the president was saying about romney that he is about the 1% and don't care about poor or middle class. now they are trying to says the president is trying to kill medicare when in fact it will be romney who will be killing it not just the future seniors but the current seniors who are on medicare now. god help the people who are soo stupid and blind to believe the republican party. president obama is no angel but he's a hell a lot better than romney and ryan. go president obama, may no weapons form against you shall prosper!!!!

Piers, I was glad that you let Jerry talk without interrupting him too often because he had some remarkable insights that were worth hearing. However, must you criticize President Obama for not having done enough to improve the economy? As Jerry said, the GOP has tied his hands at every turn. Also, bringing the nation back from such a severe recession is a very difficult task. Few people really understand the complexities involved but still love to critcize and spout their lame, simplistic solutions. There is no evidence that Romney will be any more effective at improving the economy. Just because he knew how to make himself filthy rich does not mean that he is going to be able to return America to prosperity.

I would love to have the opportunity to ask Romney if he created businesses or turned around failing businesses all by himself or did he look to others for help. With regards to the man that got on the stump with Ryan and bragged about not letting VP Biden in his bakery because he did not like President Obama's comments that we must work together to succeed, I would like to suggest to him that he open his next bakery on a desert island in the Pacific and see how well it does.

Obama must run on his record. His record proves what he is capable of – increased poverty, higher unemployment, unstable energy, higher cost of food, poorer education for our kids. Obama is great! He is the most accomplished al Qaeda leader in history!

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn't get mad when they didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the 1%, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.

You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.

You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick... Oh, H___ to the No!

Barack Obama:
Alias Barry Soetoro pawns himself as Barack Obama, the humanitarian, the POTUS, the campaign for hope and change. But we know better. Barry is a radical Marxist who was raised by Communist parents and Communist grandparents. His mentors were known Communists, his contacts in college were strictly Marxists supporters, Marxist professors and a group of Pakistani activists as stated in his book, “Dreams from My Father”.

Barack Obama, tell us about Frank Marshall Davis or Bill Ayers. Surely you remember Mr. Davis. After all, your mother knew him all too well. Mr. Ayers, a known terrorist, responsible for at least a dozen bombings, helped your early Illinois campaign by raising money, thru his organization Underground Weather. Tell us about your trip to Pakistan (’81) with Pakistani Wahid Hamid.

Share with us your ideals of socialism; after all you’re a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), referred as the “New Party”. Please tell us why you have been influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, the prelude to Communism. Share with us your association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Do you justify this man’s message by condemning our country by saying, “God bless America? No, God Damn America?” Was this a forethought supporting your belief in Marxism?

Are these the individuals who have inspired you to public office? Are these the individuals who have inspired you to plot against the United States? Are they the people for whom you’ve entrusted your Muslim faith?

Please tell us why you mocked the Holy Bible and Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount”, calling the sermon a radical message. You have mocked Christianity and this country. Barack Obama, you have betrayed this nation and all its’ people. Your skin is dark because of your race, but your soul is darker because of your deception.

There is no recovery. Dont let the numbers fool you... they have been cooked for a long time now. Obama has wrecked the economy and added over 5 trillion to the deficit with nothing to show for it. In the first two years he could have passed any bill he wanted but didnt even think about jobs. His "laser like" focus was on the golf course and lavish vacations while Americans lost their jobs. He is the biggest clown to ever sit in the Presidency... and he is done come November. I just hope there is something left to recover.

Again....After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you... & NOW you're mad... yeah right!

Bottom line is ... calling a spade a spade! You have Obamacare looming. You have taxes expiring. You have a president clearly anti business, anti free-enterprise, believes NO ONE accomplishes anything without Big Government. A president's whose favorite past time is stirring the class-envy pot, a president who won't budge one iota on development of natural resources, a president whose latest fans are the lunatic’s from Iran and Venezuela, a president clearly doing a rendition of Tricky Dick's ‘duck & cover’ for his Watergate buddies, a president who encourages the Fed to print worthless money further devaluing an anemic dollar,....

Don’t hold your breath people. This so-called recession is a slam-dunk to morph into a full-blown Depression if our Kenyan Socialist is re-elected.

Obama's 2nd term includes plans for a "New Deal"-style overhaul of the economy replete with the creation of a National Infrastructure Development Bank to oversee government control of the financial system; a massive, government-run jobs program to coincide with "paycheck fairness"; full amnesty for illegal aliens; defunding of the U.S. military while channeling Pentagon money to "clean" energy initiatives; a new, multibillion dollar "green" stimulus; and implementing Obamacare in measures nearly impossible to reverse. And that is just the start.

Very interesting aitcrle my friend. The author did a nice job on this one. I didn't buy it about Sotomayor when it first came that she was being offered the Supreme court position by Obama. I knew she was a left wing nut. What she ruled on those firefighters on New Haven didn't sit down good with me. I was called a terrorist by my hispanic friends because of my position. Even my wife doesn't agree with me on the matter of the illegal inmigration. Oh well. One of this days they will find out that is not just starving Mexicans coming thru the border. Hopefully it won't be too late. Thanks for the link. I will be spreading this one around.
